Amy specializes in treating anxiety, depression, and substance use concerns, helping clients break free from patterns that impact their emotional well-being. She incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address negative thought processes, develop coping strategies, and promote healthier behaviors.

A key focus of Amy’s practice is working with individuals experiencing eating disorders and reproductive challenges. She understands the complex emotions tied to body image, disordered eating patterns, and fertility concerns, offering compassionate, client-centered interventions to support healing and self-acceptance. Amy recognizes the deeply personal nature of these struggles and helps clients build confidence, self-worth, and a healthier relationship with their bodies and emotions.
Amy is committed to serving diverse populations, including LGBTQ+ individuals and military veterans, ensuring an inclusive and affirming therapeutic environment. She also integrates parenting skills into her work, helping clients strengthen family dynamics and develop effective communication and support systems.
